Continued thread

The agency carried out #Trump’s directive, which came in the wake of catastrophic #wildfires in #LosAngelesCounty, on short notice on Jan 30, though it would normally require days to coordinate. A memo written 4 days after the release, obtained by The Post through a public records request, shows how federal ofcls rushed ahead w/the plan to release #irrigation #water despite objections from #California’s elected ofcls & local #farmers.

Continued thread

“If there's no funding," Bart Fisher, who sits on the board of the Palo Verde #Irrigation District in #California said, "there will be no #conservation."

#Farmers in Palo Verde use #ColoradoRiver #water to grow #cattle feed & #vegetables in the desert along the Arizona border. Fisher said they want to be active participants in protecting the river, but they stand to lose money if they use less water & grow fewer crops.

Olla update: I’ve had my #garden ollas in place for 2 weeks now and they are still half to 2/3 full of water. The seedlings around them have grown steadily. We’ve had light rain once in the last two weeks. The true test will be when temperatures start to soar, but so far this #irrigation method has been impressively easy & efficient. It’s wild to know that an #ancienttechnology can still be so useful and relevant. I love clay! #pottery #ceramics #keramik #permaculture #gardening #ollasbyosa

Holding a hose.

Yesterday, faced with a problem of irrigation control and connectivity, I wondered:

Has anyone produced a data transmission interface that works for water-filled irrigation pipes?

Googling, I see a slew of articles referring to the 'garden hose analogy for bandwidth' but vanishingly few (so far) references to using actual garden hoses as data link layers.

I am suggesting, and referring in whatever future this idea has, to :

#pppp #fourP, or #4P
The Plastic Pipe Packet Protocol.

(Hope that's OK with you.) (I see it is already-used for "Piss Poor Prior Planning", which seems decidedly apt.)
